Why in 3.0 can a 3.0 party of four 11th level PC's take this with 20% loss of resources? It's CR:11. Explain.

Even if you're using 3.0, I would strongly suggest using the 3.5 monsters. The new fiends, for instance, are a hell of a lot better (and better balanced). So is the new scorpion.

You could beat it because it has no brainpower and can't fly. But issues of terrain and spells prepared that day make a big difference.

So the answer? It's not balanced at CR 11 (in 3.0), but it can be if the DM gives out some kind of terrain benefit and/or warning.
